“My High Road” lyrics (and melody) to new song in new music collection.
V1:
I (h G-flat) never dreamed (G-flat D-flat) I’d live in Timbuktu (D-flat B B-flat).
Or (h G-flat) fall in love (G-flat D-flat) with someone like (B) you (B-flat).
But (l A-flat) my (B-flat) heart (B) led (B-flat) me home (A-flat).
And (B-flat) it (A-flat) feels right (l G-flat) to (F) roam (G-flat).
Thank (E-flat) you for giving (D-flat) me the chance (B) to feel my way (B-flat).
Even (B) if I won’t (D-flat) get (B) there today (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (D-flat B) good (B-flat).
Didn’t (A-flat) know where I was going (A-flat B-flat)—but (B) I knew it would (B-flat).
Refrain:
Life (h G-flat) is (D-flat) simple (D-flat B-flat) in (B-flat) your (B) arms (D-flat)
where (E-flat) I feel (D-flat E-flat) safe (D-flat) from (B) harm (B-flat).
Staying (B) happy (D-flat), being (D-flat B) free (B-flat l G-flat)
feels (l A-flat) so natural to (l G-flat) me (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (D-flat B) good (B-flat).
Didn’t (A-flat) know where I was going (A-flat B-flat)—but (B) I knew it would (B-flat).
V2:
Hit (h G-flat) the Beckett button (G-flat D-flat) til (D-flat) my fingers bled (D-flat B B-flat).
All (h G-flat) my old friends (G-flat D-flat) probably (D-flat) think I’m (B) dead (B-flat).
But (l A-flat) they (B-flat) weren’t (B) my (B-flat) friends (A-flat)—
that (l A-flat) was not my (l G-flat) life (B-flat),
so (l A-flat) I (B-flat) walked (B) off (B-flat)—stage (A-flat) without more (l G-flat) strife (B-flat).
Now (E-flat) I want to see the world (D-flat) on a double (B)-decker bus (B-flat)
full (B) of flowers and babies (D-flat) and (E-flat) paintings (D-flat) and (B) us (B-flat).
Feel (l A-flat) like making furniture (A-flat B-flat) and real (B) shit with my hands (B-flat),
singing (l A-flat) in my underwear (l A-flat B-flat) at roadside (B) berry stands (B-flat).
Refrain 2:
Life (h G-flat) is (D-flat) good (D-flat B-flat) in (B-flat) your (B) bed (D-flat)
where (E-flat) I can (D-flat) rest my (B) weary head (B-flat).
Staying (B) happy (D-flat), being (D-flat B) free (B-flat l G-flat)
feels (l A-flat) so natural to (l G-flat) me (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (D-flat B) good (B-flat).
Didn’t (A-flat) know where I was going (A-flat B-flat)—but (B) I knew it would (B-flat).
V3:
It (h G-flat) may sound (D-flat) silly, but I know it’s (B) true (B-flat)
I (B) wouldn’t know myself so (B-flat) well (A-flat) without you (B-flat)
to (A-flat) laugh in my face (B-flat) when I act (B) the part (B-flat)
of a born (Af-lat)—again with (B-flat) a one (B)-track heart (B-flat).
Every (E-flat) singer has his song (D-flat), and every poet (B) tries to find (B-flat)
the (l A-flat) voice to pull the verse’s melody (B-flat B) out of his mind (B-flat).
Not (l A-flat) everyone (A-flat B-flat) finds (l G-flat) someone who sees her (A-flat) soul (B-flat).
Not (l A-flat) everyone (A-flat B-flat) finds (l G-flat) a love that makes her (A-flat) whole (B-flat).
Refrain 3:
Life (h G-flat) is (D-flat) slower (D-flat B-flat) in (B) our (B-flat) world (A-flat)
while (E-flat) all around (D-flat) the (B) dancers twirl (B-flat).
Staying (B) happy (D-flat), being (D-flat B) free (B-flat l G-flat)
feels (l A-flat) so natural to (l G-flat) me (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (D-flat B) good (B-flat).
Didn’t (A-flat) know where I was going (A-flat B-flat)—but (B) I knew it would (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (D-flat B) good (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (h G-flat D-flat B) good (B-flat).
My (B) high road (D-flat) is (E-flat) feeling (D-flat B) good (h G-flat).
